Description from extension meta
Tells you when you're on a site that stores your passwords in plaintext
Image from store
Description from store
Too many sites store sensitive information like passwords in plaintext. This leaves your password vulnerable to anyone with access to the site, from the site's developer to a hacker. Thankfully, Plain Text Offenders Alert stops you from giving your password to many of these sites. By using plaintextoffenders.com's constantly updated database of thousands of sites, Plain Text Offenders Alert notifies you if the site is known to be unsafe.
Disclaimer 1: Plain Text Offenders Alert is not associated with plaintextoffenders.com, it uses their publicly available database.
Disclaimer 2: Plain Text Offenders Alert does not have a list of every single insecure site, this would be impossible. It lowers, but does not stop, the chance of you giving your password to an insecure site.
New in 1.7 (courtesy of Mattias Kågström)
1. The X button will dismiss the alert for 10 days using a local cookie.
2. The "here" link will now open a new tab
The code is available at https://github.com/klinskyc/PTOAlert. If you have an issue, feature request, or code changes, Github is preferred to the Chrome User Feedback (although I'll check both).

- (2020-01-06) Dan Mathisen: It doesn't seem to work. chrome.storage.local.get("siteList", function (obj) { var siteList = obj.siteList.data; "obj" is undefined and throws an error here...
- (2019-03-20) Jonáš Bujok: Not working. I triead several pages from the plaintextoffenders list and nothing happened. :(
- (2018-11-27) Sam Hasler: No longer works as the API it uses is no longer available
- (2018-10-12) Karim Geiger: Really love the idea, but unfortunately, for me, it's no worky worky :(
- (2015-12-26) Colin Hutchinson: Nice idea in theory but their white listing process is far too slow. For example reported a false positive over a month ago and the situation hasn't been resolved :( http://plaintextoffenders.com/post/100965688284/nhlcom-sports-league-they-store-everything-in#comment-2362444468

Latest issues
- (2020-03-20, v:1.7) Idan Entin: Bug report: Cannot read property 'data' of undefined
There' already one that reported it here, but it really bug me and no reply, so trying again. The extension throws an Error: Cannot read property 'data' of undefined - (2018-04-09, v:1.7) Michael S: API is not available anymore
The API used in this extension seems to be gone: https://8ack.de/plato/api/list/?method=chromeextension From https://github.com/klinskyc/PTOAlert/blob/master/background.js This means that this extension is no longer working as intended. - (2017-08-03, v:1.7) Glenn Dirkx: Cannot read property 'data' of undefined
I quite often get the following error in my console while developing: Error in response to storage.get: TypeError: Cannot read property 'data' of undefined at Object.callback (chrome-extension://ggndaknbenjhnkddgjnjjcmomgaidhmd/content.js:12:29) at chrome-extension://ggndaknbenjhnkddgjnjjcmomgaidhmd/content.js:11:22 - (2017-02-19, v:1.7) Contributing
Hi, is there any way to contribute to this extension? - (2015-11-22, v:1.7) archive.is
every time I go to a page on archive.is, it brings up the banner and links to a post with the url where the blog posted an archive.is link. archive.is needs to be removed from the list, it wasn't in the blog post as an offending site. It can't even offend, it has no account system. - (2015-03-20, v:1.6) Mattias Kågström: link
Make the "Here" link target="_blank" and also the ability to close the warning. - (2015-03-15, v:1.6) Adriano G. V. Esposito: Avast reports
FIY, Avast reports your extension as "two stars on five" (sic) and want me to remove it. I ignored Avast... - (2015-03-06, v:1.6) Ignore List
It would be great if we could add websites to an Ignore list so that the message doesn't always appear for those sites. Also would love a close button to close the banner. - (2015-02-25, v:1.5) Adriano G. V. Esposito: translation
I would like very much a version in my language (Italian). I can help. What do you think? - (2015-02-12, v:1.5) Joshua Shearer: CSS Prevents Clicking on Link
On certain sites (Example: http://www.devart.com/ ) there are custom CSS styles applied that prevent the link on the banner from being clicked on. - (2014-11-22, v:1.3) Bridgette Haflich: console.log
Could you PLEASE clean up your console.logs? It really clutters up my console. I'm about to uninstall and write my own private version, this is pretty annoying when trying to debug a big application.
